Welfare Checks and SOS
Welfare Checks and SOS

Check who is safe. See who needs follow-up.

Ask your people for a welfare update, and review their replies in AtlasNXT. Give staff a way to raise an app panic alert or share their location temporarily through Overwatch, so your team has the information it needs to respond.

Ask for a welfare update

Send a check-in request to the people affected by an incident or taking part in an activity.

Focus your follow-up

Review replies and non-responses. Identify where your team needs more information or direct contact.

Let people raise the alarm

App panic alerts give staff a direct way to draw an operator’s attention to a problem.

A location alone cannot tell you how someone is

A map can show a shared position. A welfare response tells your team more about the person’s situation. AtlasNXT brings that response together with available location context, live local threat intelligence, and incident updates.

Make the next action clear

Set out who monitors welfare requests and alerts, when replies are expected, and how the team follows up. AtlasNXT helps operators see the response. Your people and procedures turn that information into action.

Choose the people

Select the relevant registered individuals or group. Keep the request focused on the incident, journey, or activity.

Request an update

Ask people to confirm their welfare. Explain the reason for the check and what they should do if they need help.

Review the replies

See who has responded and where welfare remains unconfirmed. Treat a missing reply as a reason to follow up, rather than proof of an emergency.

Coordinate the response

Contact the person or follow the agreed procedure. Where an incident needs managing, keep updates, assigned actions, and decisions in the incident record.

After a local incident
Request welfare updates from people in the affected group. Use their replies to focus further contact and assistance.
Working or travelling alone
Staff can raise an app panic alert. Voluntary Overwatch lets them share their location for a particular journey or activity.
Beyond mobile coverage
